Debat Minyak: Anwar v Shabery

While many have given their comments regarding Anwar vs Shabery debate. Many said that Shabery was not professional, bombarding Anwar with personal attack, rather than answering the issue.

What many have not realised is that:

1) Why did Shabery do that? He was not at loggerhead with Anwar before for him to launch the attack. Was the script written by someone else (Rembau? Kepala Batas? Pekan?) and was he not merely the messenger boy? ( I tend to believe so)

2) Why did Shabery do that? Was he trying to tarnish Anwar's image, or was he trying to provoke Anwar, so that he lost focus and not concentrating on the main issue of the debate? That strategy simply did not work, and Anwar managed to refrain himself from retaliating, until the last minute, when he commented, and announced he would be contesting in a by-election soon.

3) Why did the debate go on in the first place? As I have said many many times before, why was Anwar allowed airtime on the television at prime hours? Why PAKLAH ever allowed this? Has the debate shown how much credibility Anwar has, compared to NAJIB (yes Najib, not Shabery)?

4) What was the motive behind the debate? To allow Anwar to humiliate a cabinet minister? To show Paklah was very open minded? To highlight Anwar's capacity to lead the nation? Just to obtain ideas on boosting the national economy? To tarnish MAHATHIR's image by revisiting the IPP contracts?

5) Again, was there any pre-agreement between Anwar and Paklah, to highlight Anwar's personality, and reduce Najib's political ambition to rubble? And did not the incident yesterday simply spice up the whole event (or drama?)

My personal view is that there is nothing wrong if Anwar wants to work with Paklah to kill Najib's political career. The lesser of the two evils. If Najib ever becomes a Prime Minister, I wonder berapa ramai lagi anak dara rakyat yang terpaksa dikorbankan, menjadi gundik2 pemimpin, seperti zaman kesultanan melayu dahulu.

5:54 O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault. That is the grace of Allah, which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth. And Allah encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things.
